The writing is on the wall. They're killing their OS market with constant changes that don't improve it, customers don't want, so they're gaslighting themselves it is AI's fault.

They have always had products that fail even when forced on the user (Explorer, Cortana, One Note, etc). Now they're killing it harder with the stupid forced move to Win 11.

I've been using MS OS for years because the software I like runs on it. I strip all the MS OS junk away and it runs perfectly fine. I'm going to stay on Win 10 as long as I can - even converting most of my workstations to LTSC versions (which give me another 7 years of security updates.

I have no desire to move to Win 11. I don't like Apple. I already assume Linux is my desktop future and I'll slowly be converting workstations to it over the next year if MS doesn't change their path. I have experience with Linux, but I'm not a huge fan. That said, it will be better than a shit Win 11 thats for sure.

I'm a perfectly happy MS OS user they are chasing away. It has nothing to do with AI.
